That is rotten Flower, I hope you get what you're owed soon. I think that insurance companies are the devil in disguise, what really annoys me is having to pay an excess... I pay insurance so that if something gets stolen it'll be replaced for free... not so I can then scrape round trying to find a couple of hundred quid to pay to claim! :mad: What makes me laugh are these companies selling 'Ladies Life Insurance'... if you get a 'Lady' cancer you get a big payout... but if it's a non-gender-specific brain tumour you get nothing! What a con! I can just imagine women sitting there with a diagnosis for colon cancer saying, 'Why oh why couldn't it be cervical?!' :mad: It shouldn't be allowed. Rant over!
Hope the pest control man sorts out the ants Cinny! Only you would feel sorry for the animals infesting your house because it isn't dirty enough for them!
I forgot to make my birthday treats for work on Sunday so I made my rice crispie cakes last night but lost faith in them and bought emergency back-up brownies and flapjacks and everyone's eaten the home-made treats and left the shop-bought back-ups! I suppose I should have more faith in myself! At least I can put the back-up treats out at the party on Friday and hope that they'll get eaten. Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -

To be fair love, you were not well last night. I was up till after 11 finishing mine off, and just found out I hadn't rescheduled the one for tonight.
It should be fine as I have a good relationship with the company in question but it annoys me when this happens as I want to keep that good relationship.
Also can anyone point me in the direction of some good advice for registering self employed for the mystery shopping?This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.:j:j:j:j0 -
Go to the 'up your income' forum, one of the top threads (I think its sticky) is the mystery shopping disussion thread, one of the first posts on there is on registering for tax.
Which one was for tonight? Petrol?Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Hi all, have been lurking and reading but just popped out to say that me and OH have just bought our first (and last hopefully) house together! Excited beyond belief.0

It always makes me giggle when you two have a conversation on here!
Hope the list goes better tonight Dinah! At least you knocked one thing off and I'm sure other things that weren't on the list got done too so it's not that bad. Do you think that your ebay problem is from putting yourself under too much pressure, it's all very well listing 20 items a day but they'll have to get parcelled up and posted and you always seem to have 'wrap parcels' on your list! I had to put Amazon selling on hold for a while because I just didn't seem to have the time to get to the PO and I hated the thought of people waiting for their stuff; I always expect to receive my stuff within a week when I buy from Amazon sellers or ebay and get really cross if it takes longer and I didn't want to put my potential buyers in that situation!

Thats very possibly my ebay issue, but I don't really know what to do about it! I'd love to drop ebay but we need the money too much.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I don't really know what I'd do in your situation either, I think it's just the sheer volume of sales that's getting you bogged down, can you get a load of the sells for nowt stuff and just car boot it one Sunday? When I sold a load of stuff on Amazon and had to go to the PO 4/5 days a week I had a box in my car full of what I was selling, a stack of jiffy bags and a pile of documents enclosed wallets ('borrowed' from work of course!) so I'd check my Amazon account last thing at work, print off any sales slips, package the stuff up in the car and go straight to the PO, saved a lot of time and hassle!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

NIM, from reading her thread I'm 99% sure TPA is self registered for it. You might be able to pick her brains Hope TPA doesn't mind me pointing her out for help, she seems like a very busy lady!
Birdie - I do honestly feel terrible for calling the pest people in! Poor ants, if they had just built their nests up in the garden they'd be fine. But they don't know what's coming
Good luck with todays list Dinah! How are things coming on with EBTCake?
Excited for tonight despite the pest man. Finally brought all my baking things across from my parents so tonight I'm baking! Cider cake for our house and my parents, then cupcakes for my Cousin (he's fixing Greg, saving me garage prices
)
And that's amazing news about the house Swinstie!! I really need to catch up on your diary! x0
